A lower value is often found in athletes. Depending on the type of sports, training intensity and physical<br />
constitution, values may result which are below the recommended values stated.<br />
It should, however, be noted that there could be a danger to health in the case of extremely low values.<br />
Body water<br />
The body water percentage is normally within the following ranges:<br />

Body fat contains relatively little water. Therefore persons with a high body fat percentage have<br />
body water percentages below the recommended values. With endurance athletes, however, the recommended<br />
values could be exceeded due to low fat percentages and high muscle percentage.<br />
Body water measurement with this scale is not suitable for drawing medical conclusions, for example<br />
concerning age-related water retention. If necessary ask your physician.<br />
Basically, a high body water percentage should be the aim.<br />
Muscle percentage<br />
The muscle percentage is normally within the following ranges:<br />

Bone mass<br />
Like the rest of our body, our bones are subject to the natural development, degeneration and ageing<br />
processes. Bone mass increases rapidly in childhood and reaches its maximum between 30<br />
and 40 years of age. Bone mass reduces slightly with increasing age. You can reduce this degeneration<br />
somewhat with healthy nutrition (particularly calcium and vitamin D) and regular exercise. With<br />
appropriate muscle building, you can also strengthen your bone structure.<br />
Note that this scale will not show you the calcium content of your bones, but will measure the<br />
weight of all bone constituents (organic substances, inorganic substances and water).<br />
